XMB 1.9.6 Nexus RC1 released
| Quote: | Originally posted by Tularis at XMB
Forum
We have just release XMB 1.9.6 Nexus Release Candidate 1. This is the first release candiate before the official release of
XMB 1.9.6 Final and is meant for testing purposes only. We would like to ask everyone to test this as much as possible to identify
any (potential) (security) problems and bugs which might (and probably still do) remain in the code.
The biggest changes in this release feature:
A completely rewritten forum-permissions system, which allows far more precise setting of permissions based on ranks,
password and userlist.
Removal of all theme-globals (apart from $THEME), thus making the global namespace less polluted
Removal of all user-globals (apart from $self), thus making the global namespace less polluted
Implementation of printGmTime/printGmDate which allows for far easier handling of time/date (plus, allows the full range of date/time-formats
to be used, as per www.php.net/date)
New user/mod/admin logs which should proide far more information than they used to
Changed language files to preload a "base copy", thus you will no longer see "empty spaces" when your language-file is no longer
up-to-date!
Download
You may download this release from:
http://download.xmbforum.com/ zip / tar.gz / tar.bz2
Diffs
A diff is available from:
1. http://download.xmbforum.com/xmb-1.9.5-1.9.6-rc1.patch gz
Note: there is no documentation included with this release candidate as it is currently being rewritten.
Note: please post any bugs you might find in the newly created XMB 1.9.6 Bugs Forum

It is advisable not to use and RC version as they are still beta releases. You don't want to use beta release in your live production environment
because they will release several RC versions until they get it to a Final release. In fact they just released RC 2. So you'd be constantly updating
through all the RC releases. Plus you will not be able to use any 1.9.5 hacks on 1.9.6 because the majority of hacks are incompatible. And none of the
3 major support sites are offering any support for 1.9.6 until it is Final. This also means there will be no 1.9.6 hacks until then.
All 1.9.5 hacks available at XMB Garage for download or installation.
1.9.8 hacks are being updated and added all the time. |
